Ice Cube is not a brand. He does some movies here and there and was popular during the late 80's/early 90's but he never really did a major cross over album or venture outside of NWA. He does not really market or sell anything outside of his music either.

For a genre that is predominately geared toward a certain demographic that is essential. Most of the rappers that are household names are brands and have done other ventures outside of their rap music. I do not think it is necessary to be honest but it gives more opportunities to appeal to other people and interests.
